Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Anchoring certain gestures to positive emotion is done by doing a certain gesture whenever you feel an emotion you'd like to feel.

I do admit it kinda works, but we usually need our 'boost' when we're feeling down, no?

So when we keep summoning our best emotions when we're feeling down, wouldn't our anchor slowly associate to the negative feelings? I don't know, just a thought.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Are you anchoring the most effective things? There are tons of positive emotions; for example watching the opening credits to Spiderman-3 on it's opening weekend. A month later how do you feel about it?

You can't expect to anchor just any positive emotion. Get a real book about NLP and not just rely on Internet posts. It'll teach you the proper way to anchor experiences, even if they had never happened.

Stunning analysis. I'm sold.
You've got to be leary about anything that isn't "looks" based. :rolleyes:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
